Yaridovich had heard rumors about the Tower and went to it. It took quite a while for him to climb it, but eventually he found the party. He surveyed them closely. The first thing in his mind was to attack, but then he decided to overhear their conversations first. He morphed into a rat. He stood still a few meters from the party and listened.

Lance puts the book away not to be troubled by it at the moment. At that moment he see's the young lady speak then proceed to stand up and pull out her sword. Lance looks at the ground and saw his sword lying in pieces on the ground.

Lance well doesn't look like i will be much help without a weapon....

Lance turns to the young lady.....

Lance: I haven't introduced myself yet....my name is Lance

Still regaining strength Lance stumbles over Chris.

Lance: Are you okay.....looks like you took quite a hit on the head there.

Lance noticed a stir close by and looked. It seemed to be only a rat.....or so he thought.

Yaridovich looked at the party in surprise. He saw that they were truly experienced warriors. If he wanted to win, he had to be smart. "Lucky I'm so clever," he thought. He decided to follow them. He sneaked into the darkness and came back as a small spider. He climbed up to Chris' cloak without him noticing it and clung to it.

Lance proceeds to stand up.....Lance looks around and spots the door that he entered. Then he turns around and spots the door on the other side. Lance then proceeds to walk to the door and open it. He steps through the doorway not even glancing back to see if anyone was following him.

Yaridovich saw Lance go. "Ow, crap," he thought. I should have followed him." He quietly got off Chris and scuttled off to the door that Lance had gone through. By the time he had reached the door with his tiny little feet, it was already closed, and a spider could not open it. "What small thing can open this door unnoticed?" he thought. He longed to take his own, normal form, but resisted the temptation. Then he had it. He transformed in an ant and climbed through the keyhole. On the other side, he looked around. Where did Lance go?

Lance started to walk down a long dark corrdior. It was kinda hard to see where to go. He stumbled around and eventully caught his footing. He ended up to another solid metal door. He opened it up and he was in another large room. It seemed to have windows all over. The room was very bright. Lance walked to one of the windows and saw a balcony. He peered outside and was almost dizzy. He noticed that there was also a balcony.

Lance crawled through the window onto the balcony.

Lance: its so peaceful up here....i think i might just sit here and wait things out.

Lance layed back on the balcony.....the wind was slightly blowing just enough to keep him cool. As he was laying there he began to doze off.

Yaridovich looked for a bit, and then... Bingo! He heard Lance's footsteps further. He went the same way as Lance had gone, and then reached the balcony. "Hah!" he thought. "He's taking a snooze! Perfect!"

Taking his own black spirit form, he went over to Lance. He felt in his pockets, and found some strange looking weapens. "What are those?" he thought. "This guy must come from a very far land... I wonder where. I think I can learn a lot from him. I'll keep these tools for later. They might become handy... heh heh."

He hid the weapons in a dark corner and took the form of a young man with a deep cut in his arm, where blood was slowly dripping out of it. He then shouted into Lance's ear, rousing him. Lance was now unarmed. Yaridovich then quickly lay down on the floor, eyes closed. He looked just like a man who had just been attacked. He then slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Lance, he shouted: "Help me you must! Hurt I am! My weapons stolen are! Attacked me, something has. Help me you must!"

Lance awoke from his slumber to see an injured man sitting there. Lance felt for his weapons but none were there. At that moment he knew something was up. He went over to the young man and wrapped his arm in a peice of cloth.

Lance: hold your arm above your heart....it will slow down the bleeding enough for your own blood to clot the wound.

Lance started looking around for his weapons. He didn't see any on the balcony. He jumped back inside the room and turned on his night vison. There in a corner lay his weapons that he had.

Lance: now thats strange....

Lance went over and retrived his weapons. He went back to the window and jumped out onto the balcony.

Lance awoke.....it seemed he had changed locations and he was now somewhere else. He looked around and saw chis lying there along with someone else. He jumped to his feet and pulled out his weapons.......Lance was indeed ready.
